Ground opened: 1946

Back Of The Main (West Stand)

Below is a view of the back of the North end of the ground which is still in existence today. This end used have a tidy looking stand, but the club demolished it in the early 1980's so that a supermarket could be built at that end, leaving only a small open terrace. Note the unusual floodlights:

Hull City Football Club were formed in 1904. They originally played at the Boulevard Ground the then home of Hull Rugby League Football Club. After only one season they played at the Circle, which was Hull's Cricket Club Ground before moving to a new ground a short distance away on Anlaby Road in 1905. In the late 1920's the Club were informed that the ground was to be re-developed to make way for a new railway. In preparation for this the Club purchased some land which was to become the site of Boothferry Park. But development was slow and this coupled with the delay to the new railway meant that there was no great urgency to move and it was not until August 1946 that Boothferry Park, was officially opened for the visit of Lincoln City. The Club were to remain at Boothferry Park until moving to the new KC Stadium in 2002. Interestingly the site of the new stadium is on the same spot of the old Circle ground.
